Thread: Landpride or Hustler??

The other day while in on of my dealers I picked up a Landpride packet and saw what appears to be a Hustler Z with a different paint job and muffler guard.. is this true, does Hustler make Landpride's ACCU-Z?? or was there a loose patent?? If Hustler does make it is it exactly the same?? is it the same quality?? are parts interchangable??? my reason for asking is a LP dealer is 10 miles away and ROW my Hustler dealer is 70 miles away....please answer soon!
